OhYeah . . . RJ could whip many people's asses on technique alone. . . I mean, you could cut off half his airway and take away his poles and he'd still whip ass. . . regardless of how fit those people might be. . . JWerd's got it down!

While living at Tamarack, I'd get up and ski really early, and I could tell if he was out, ahead of me, by the length of his skating tracks. . . then, low and behold, I'd come around a corner, and there he'd be.

When you get to the top of Harmony it's just a little bit further to the peak.

I actually hiked this part twice because a lady asked me if I'd dropped my glove up by harmony, and all my stuff was in my pack, so i thought i might have. it was only a short walk but when i got back there it wasn't even my glove!! Doh!!!

Just up around the bend...

I love being in the mountains!!

Getting there...

I hiked the extra twenty feet to the Peak just for some shots....

Rick wanted to go West Cirque, Christmas trees but I wanted some fresh Gnar so I suggested Sunday chute. He reluctantly agreed and I told him he would love it.

He did.

Dropping in

Slasher!

Since this area is Permanently Closed I normally wouldn't post these pics but because Peak is area boundary right now it's fair game.

Before I shredded it, I stopped to take this pano.

I've got more pics from the next run but they will have to wait till later as I am going climbing!!! YAY!

You should note that in the pic I posted above, I'm not actually "skiing."
I'm on skis, yes, but not moving. So while I may look like a real skier,
don't be fooled. The pack on my back weighed about 50 pounds, and I used it
to help me develop the style of skiing now known as "linked headplants."

I got to some interesting places on skis, but the only thing that ever got
shredded when I skied was my ego.
